What is the Autodesk User Certification?

Autodesk User Certification allows students to begin their design careers while in school, and then move forward with additional levels of certification as they attend college and begin working as design professionals.

Are the exams based on a specific software release?

How will the exams be delivered?

Educators and students can take the exams at a public Etrain Authorized Testing Center or become a center themselves.
